Leonard Law Firm went beyond the norm to ensure our case was settled. He was an exemplary lawyer whose services were a nice welcome considering all the aggravation my wife and I would have gone through had he not covered all aspects of our case. We are so thankful to him and his office. His knowledge of the case set our lives at ease. He was relentless until the case was fully settled and all was in our favor. Thank you so much.

Fire Injuries

Fire injuries can range from mild nuisances to life-threatening emergencies. There are three general classifications of burns:

First degree burns: The outer layer of skin is burned. The area affected exhibits redness and tenderness, but usually heals within a few weeks.

Second degree burns: Here, the first and second layers of skin are burned, resulting in blistering, pain, and scarring.

Third degree burns: The three principal layers of skin are burned, requiring skin grafts and reconstructive surgery.

Given the serious nature of fire injuries, the medical costs of hospitalization alone can range from $50,000 to $200,000. Depending on the severity of a person’s burn injuries, additional costs are involved when reconstructive surgery, skin grafts, and physical therapy are taken into consideration. For these reasons, it is essential to quantify the financial impact of a fire injury in order to meet medical costs and compensate fire injury victims for their pain and suffering. For these reasons, serious fire injuries may necessitate the help of an experienced attorney to help pay the costly medical fees associated with them.

The New Jersey fire injury attorneys at the Todd J. Leonard Law Firm have represented people suffering from the following kinds of injuries related to fires, house fires, electrical fires, industrial fires:

Second-degree burns

Third-degree burns

Working with a lawyer can greatly improve your odds of obtaining the amount of compensation you need to fully recover from your fire injury.

Building Fires

When a fire breaks out, people have a short time to escape before smoke inhalation and heat injuries begin to take effect. These kinds of injuries can have serious consequences and often change a victim’s life for years. Because of the limited time people have to reach safety, it is imperative that buildings strictly follow fire codes. Failing to do so can result in delayed warnings and impeded escape should a fire break out in a building.

Retailers, hotel operators, office building managers, plants, oil refineries, and smoke detector manufacturers can be held liable for fire-related injuries and fatalities that occur as a result of negligence and safety violations. In fires involving apartments, motels, or restaurants, it is common for investigators to discover blocked fire exits and other fire code violations contributed to the inability of people to leave the building in a timely fashion. If you have been hurt in a fire as the result of someone else’s negligence, the New Jersey fire injuries attorneys at the Todd J. Leonard Law Firm may be able to help you recover compensation.

When you work with the dedicated New Jersey fire injury attorneys at the Todd J. Leonard Law Firm, we will enlist fire investigators, chemical analysts, and safety consultants to determine what caused a fire and what should have been done to prevent it. In order to ensure our clients receive the full compensation they deserve for their burn injuries, we also consult doctors, medical economists, and life care planners.

While a fire in a hotel or apartment building may be due to negligence on the part of the property owner, liability for defective sprinkler systems or malfunctioning smoke detectors may involve those who installed or manufactured them. It is important to investigate the cause of a fire and determine the cause and origin of the fire or explosion in order to hold all the parties who played a role in causing burn injuries and fatalities responsible.

What To Do After A Burn Injury or Building Fire Accident

After a serious building fire resulting in a burn injury, the first priority is to seek thorough medical care.
